In the game on September 9, Wimbledon Athletic still defeated Ferimleglen with a score of 4:0 without Chu Zhongtian. After a season of running-in and training, Wimbledon Athletic has basically no opponent in the ninth league. It was not able to successfully upgrade last season, which has something to do with their losses at the beginning. However, the team had just been formed at that time, and had not yet formed a tacit understanding and could not fully exert their combat effectiveness.

The situation is different now.

Without finding Russell's successor, Eames decided to emphasize the role of the team and no longer assign anyone to become the core of the team's organization, but instead requires the entire team to play a role in the offense.

The advantage of this is that the opponent can no longer freeze the entire team's offense by staring at a certain person, while Wimbledon Athletics can fully utilize their strong offensive firepower and the personal technical advantages of offensive players. The result is that Wimbledon Athletics will blossom in multiple points, and the firepower will be fully opened in the game, making the opponent unable to defend.

The only thing that made Chu Zhongtian feel depressed was that even his home partner Sidwell scored in the game, but he still lost all his strength. He practiced a shot for a summer vacation, but he still did not see the effect.

He didn't suspect that Russell didn't teach right, nor did he feel that he hadn't learned well, but he just lacked a little feeling in the game. Football game feels very important. To put it bluntly, it's actually state. If you have a state, you can score goals with a big foot in the middle circle, such as Beckham's famous work, and Chilavit's free kick in the backcourt of the River Plate team. If you don't have a state, you will shoot flying in the empty goal. There are so many situations, and it's countless. The so-called "no kick is harder than kicking" is what it means. There are more extreme things: after passing the middle circle, you can pass it back, so you can't do it.

The ball encountered the head of his team's goalkeeper and flew into his own goal. Do you think he is in good condition or not... Chu Zhongtian hasn't found his own condition yet, and the benefits of practicing passing and control have been reflected. His pass with more than fifteen yards can now pass to his teammates calmly and accurately, but that kind of penetrating straight pass has never appeared once. It's also because he doesn't feel it. The feeling of passing the ball to Borger in the game last season with Hartley Winterney never appeared in his mind again, as if it had never appeared.

Although Chu Zhongtian has not found his own feeling, the team continues to win. From the beginning of the league to now, they have maintained a complete victory except for a match between the FA fountain and the London Senior Cup. The record is brilliant, which is completely different from the same period at the beginning of last season.

Although Wimbledon is just an amateur team now, there are quite a lot of games to participate in. In addition to the normal league and FA Cup, there are also the ultra-low FA Cup, which is the FA bottle, which is only allowed to participate in the nine to eleven league teams. The London FA organized a regional cup-London Senior Cup, as well as the Super Challenge Cup (premier_challenge_cup) and the Surrey Senior Cup (surrey_senior_cup).

When the time entered October, Wimbledon was eliminated in the first round of the FA Bottle and the London Senior Cup. Although Wimbledon has as many as 35 first-team lineups, Eames did not mean to rotate the team. Their team does not need to be rotated for training, because as long as the eleven starting players are not injured, they basically play. Substitutes only have a chance when these people cannot play, such as the main players are injured or suspended, no matter how many games there are.

There is a big gap in strength between the substitute and the main force, and there is no need to exercise. It is better to make the team's lineup fixed. Everyone is familiar with it and develop a tacit understanding so that the game can be easier to play.

The rotation system is played by the wealthy teams. The so-called "rich disease" - there are too many good players, and the starting lineup of eleven people cannot be arranged at all, so they have to rotate... Even Premier League teams do not use the "rotation system".

Now the players of Wimbledon Athletics think that the most anticipated game this season is the FA Cup. As long as there is nothing unexpected in the league, there are basically no suspense. After all, there are too many leagues with more strength than this level... As for other cup games, they are not interested. What is the point of playing around and playing with a group of teams that are lower than their level?

On September 13, in the first round of the FA Cup qualifiers, Wimbledon won 1-0 away against Oxford City. This was their first FA Cup journey. Fortunately, they have not started from the qualifying qualifiers. The team was a bit restrained, but being able to win was enough to make their supporters happy.

September 27th is the second round of the FA Cup qualifiers. Wimbledon's opponent is Bardon_hill_sports from the eighth league. As a result, facing a team that is one level higher than them, Wimbledon won at home with a 4:1 game. The number of spectators in this game reached 4,500. They all witnessed a victory without any suspense. The team firmly controlled the rhythm of the game from the first minute of the game, which was completely different from the restrained performance in the first round of the qualifiers. In the 75th minute, the team led by four goals, so Eames replaced three substitutes and asked them to go up and exercise and feel it.

The atmosphere of the FA Cup, although it is just a qualifying match... On October 2, Wimbledon Athletics defeated Dunstable_town (dunstable_town) away 3-0 in the third round of the FA Cup qualifying match. This is a team in the seventh division, which is one level higher than the eighth division team encountered in the second round of the qualifying match. Wimbledon Athletics can still win three goals away. The players were full of confidence for a while and thought that the seventh division was just like this... They even thought it was natural for the team to enter the FA Cup. How could a game of such a level of qualifying match be retained?

The confident Wimbledon Athletics did not take their fourth round qualifying opponent Thurrock seriously, even if it was a real sixth-tier team from the National League Southern League.

As a result, they suffered a lot after two weeks.

If Kevin Cooper hadn't exploded again, their first FA Cup journey would have ended in the third round of the qualifying round, and now they still have a silver lining.

The game against Thurlock was played at Wimbledon Athletics home court. At the beginning of the eleven minutes, Kevin Cooper helped the team to take the lead, and everything was moving in a beautiful direction. It seemed that there was no difference from the first three rounds of qualifying games. Wimbledon Athletics could always easily defeat their opponents.

Wimbledon Athletics fans even began to discuss the wonderful scenes of entering the main game in the stands - the game will be broadcasted on TV, and the team will play against those professional teams. If you are lucky, you may be able to make it to the third round. At that time, the opponents were the Premier League and the League One (the future Championship) teams, and if you meet another Premier League team... I can't imagine how spectacular it would be!

Just as Wimbledon's competitive fans were fantasizing, Thurlock scored two goals in five minutes to overtake the score! Because not only Wimbledon's fans were looking forward to, but even Wimbledon's players were distracted to fantasize about the wonderful prospects after entering the main game. They forgot that Thurlock is a team from the Sixth Division, and they ignored the other party's determination to enter the main game, so they took advantage of their distracted opportunity to win two games and caught Wimbledon off guard.

Fortunately, before the end of the game, Kevin Cooper took advantage of a defensive mistake on the opponent's defense line to equalize the score and retained the hope, otherwise they would be eliminated.

After the game, Eames scolded everyone. In his opinion, being dragged into the rematch by his opponent was not because Wimbledon was not in poor competitive strength, but because the players were proud and underestimated. If they were prepared to deal with it carefully, this game should be successfully passed like the first three rounds of qualifying matches - he had confidence in his team.

"They are teams in the sixth division! What qualifications do you have to be proud of underestimating the enemy? The ninth division underestimates the enemy and the sixth division? Talking it out will only make people laugh out loud!"

※※※ Kevin Cooper's second-game score helped the team get a chance to rematch, which made those who were still worried that the team would be eliminated at the end of the game and breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the rematch was an amazing victory.

However, Chu Zhongtian faced the situation of having to skip classes, because the rematch was next Wednesday. If he didn't skip classes, then the team would be in trouble during the rematch. Eames had already contacted him privately and hoped that he would definitely participate in the rematch.

He attaches great importance to Chu Zhongtian in his words.

"You are our defensive core, Chu. If you can't play, I'm very worried about our defense in the away game... You saw this game too? Thurlock's midfield is very strong, and their two goals were started after controlling the midfield, so you have to participate. I know this will delay your study, but there is only one game. If you win, we will go to the main game, and if you lose this season, the FA Cup will end."

Chu Zhongtian didn't skip class. He skipped class to participate in the last few games last season. At that time, the team was upgraded to the most critical moment. Russell was injured and it would be unreasonable if he didn't participate, so he skipped class to support him. Although he was stubborn, he was not an unreasonable person. If the matter was prioritized and escaping a class could prevent the team from being eliminated, then the rematch was more important than the class.

The last time I skipped class to help the team play football, so that the team could be upgraded. At that time, he could have no psychological burden, and he had a thought in his mind - win and upgrade! Unexpectedly, he ended up being the third in the league, and worked hard but did not get any rewards. This was a matter that made him very depressed than skipping class.

So what about this time?

Chu Zhongtian didn't know, but he had to do his best in the competition he participated in. He could not use his own standards to demand others, so he could only strictly demand himself.

※※The team tied with Thurlock and was dragged into the rematch. It seems that not many fans will be happy about this. They are only worried that the team will play away in the rematch and will be affected by this and eventually lose the game.

There is only one person who is the exception.

After going to the Wimbledon bar with a new name, Emily was holding a wine glass and smiling at Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian reached out and shook her eyes: "You have been watching me like this for ten minutes. I don't think there is any need to show your joy like this, Emily?" He was a little helpless.

"Hehe." Emily smiled, "I just think I've been with you for a long time, and I'm as keen as you are - I said you'd better not want the team to tie the FA Cup, but I didn't expect it to tie it."

"Crow's mouth." Chu Zhongtian muttered in his native language.

"What are you talking about?"

"I say you are good and bad."

Emily grimaced. "What should I do now? The rematch is midweek." Her face was filled with a smile, and she had no intention of worrying at all.

"Okay, if you win, I will skip class to participate in the competition." Chu Zhongtian raised his hands and said surrender. In fact, he was not as reluctant as he showed, but he also wanted to tease Emily.

Looking at Chu Zhongtian's appearance, Emily suddenly stopped smiling again.

"Hey, Chu. Do you think it's annoying and annoying for me to do this?"

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect Emily to ask this suddenly, and he was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

"Studying is always serious. Your identity is a student. But I insist on letting you skip classes and participate in competitions. Would I be a little selfish?"

"Personal?" Chu Zhongtian hadn't figured out what it had to do with selfishness.

"I want to watch your game. There is only one game a week, so I can't enjoy it. Hehe..." Emily smiled a little shyly.

Looking at the two red clouds flying on her cheeks, Chu Zhongtian was distracted.

"Do you know why I keep urging you to play professional football?"

"I like watching me play football?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

Emily nodded: "If you don't continue playing football, you will return to China after three years of undergraduate studies...will you return to China, right?"

"Of course I will go back to China, otherwise where else can I go?" Chu Zhongtian spread his hands and shrugged. "Hollywood? London? I want to go, but do they want me?"

"If you really want to go to Hollywood, I actually have something to do..." Emily shook her head again after saying that, "Can't you go to be a paparazzi? I don't think Chu should be the kind of person who does that kind of job. That kind of fame and fortune is not suitable for you. You are like a stone, and it is full of edges and corners. Football is the most suitable for you." She smiled pursed, and she was right.

"You graduate and return to China, and then I won't see you." She tilted her head and looked at Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian once thought about this question. But at that time he thought: it was already a lucky thing to be friends with such a beautiful girl who would probably become a Hollywood star in the future for three years. He couldn't afford to ask for more, and he and Emily were not from the same world at all.

Be a forever friend? When the status and status of two people are getting farther and farther apart, can they still be friends? Don’t be funny. Friendship is based on equality. Emily will become a star that everyone pays attention to. Those who are equal to her are big stars, producers, and directors in Hollywood. Only then can they become friends. The most likely future for her in the future is to return to China and find a job in a media unit. Perhaps with her study abroad experience, she can find a good job, but that’s all.

By then, the distance between herself and Emily was not only tens of thousands of kilometers and eight hours from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere, but also two completely different worlds.

Emily will be a big star, and she is just a small person.

He suddenly had a thought: Big stars fall in love with me?

He was shocked by his thoughts - this is even more fantasy than a fantasy, and it can only exist in yy's novels. There will never be a similar situation in reality. He is not Emily's childhood sweetheart, but he has known each other for three years. Why should he fall in love with him? What qualifications do he have to fall in love with Emily?

This idea is incredible, how did it come about?

Chu Zhongtian couldn't figure it out.

"So I think..." Emily's voice came, interrupting Chu Zhongtian's contemplation. "...If you can become a professional player, you can appear on TV every week. No matter where I am, you can see you."

After hearing Emily's words, Chu Zhongtian's heart hopped for a while.

He was a little surprised, but did not show it, just laughed and said, "How is it that easy? Professional players also have to be divided into levels. Players who play in the fourth league are also professional players, but you will definitely not find them on TV."

"Is there always hope? Besides, don't you transfer or upgrade? If you perform well, there will be more advanced teams who will like you..."

"Do you believe that I can become a star who often shows her face on TV?" Chu Zhongtian interrupted her, "Besides, as long as you can become a star, I can see you on TV, isn't it the same?"

"It's different, it's completely different." Emily shook her head like a rattle, and her golden ponytail was shaking. "It's not the same thing that you want to see me and I want to see you. So, try to be a star, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian spread his hands: "That's not something I can do just because I want..."

"If you don't want to, you will never be able to do it."

Seeing that Chu Zhongtian stopped talking, Emily smiled and said, "Look, I am indeed selfish."

"Uh, no...I just..." Chu Zhongtian didn't know what to say. He didn't hate Emily because she insisted on doing this, but he knew that he was not that piece of material, which was really a contradiction... "I haven't thanked you yet, Emily." He decided to change the topic.

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for perseveringly coming to me for a trial. If it weren't for you, how could I have known so many friends?" He pointed to the drinkers who were drinking and chatting in the bar. "My college life is starting to become different because of you."

Emily covered her mouth and smiled: "I hope you can thank me in the future, but not for making your college life more exciting."
